The Silence of the Lambs Two Disc Collectors Edition

The Silence of the Lambs Two Disc Collectors Edition

A psychopath nicknamed Buffalo Bill is murdering women across the Midwest. Believing it takes one to know one, the FBI sends Agent Clarice Starling (Foster) to interview a demented prisoner who may provide clues to the killer’s actions. That prisoner is psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Hopkins), a brilliant, diabolical cannibal who agrees to help Starling only if she’ll feed his morbid curiosity with details of her own complicated life. As their relationship develops, Starling is forced to confront not only her own hidden demons, but also an evil so powerful that she may not have the courage or strength to stop it!

1 Star Another rip-off Blu-Ray of a MPEG transfer originally made for DVD…
Another rip-off Blu-Ray disc that charges a premium price for “high definition 1080P” of the same ^&**&%$(&! MPEG transfer as used in the older DVD version. The image suffers from waxy skin tones from excessive DNR noise reduction, excessive added sharpening, and mediocre blacks and detail. Of course it’s “better” in the sense that you’re not watching a DVD that has had the source down sampled to a narrower bandwidth medium. But it appears to be the same mediocre 2k MPEG source originally made for DVD, hardly up to the standards of new 4k transfers done in either the AVC or VC-1 codec. A bargain disc, worth $9.99 but not the premium that’s being charged for it. Rent it.

3 Stars No Way to this BLU -RAY…..2 star disc 5 star movie!
Don’t bother with this Blu-ray…

I just watched the 2 disc collectors edition a couple days back and loved it so when I spotted this in the store today I snapped it up. Trouble is….without a serious A/B test….it didn’t really look ANY better than the standard disc and is twice the price. Frankly …I wish I had NOT purchased this on BLU-RAY and its one of my favorite movies. Much of this will no doubt be due to the available light photography for the film which doesn’t upgrade well..but be warned.

5 Stars Why do standard DVD reviews list under Blu Ray reviews?
Every one knows ‘Silence of the Lambs’ is a classic. So why have standard movie reviews on a Blu-Ray Pre-order? I’m keen to know details relating to the quality of the transfer and how this movie now looks in 1080p. Is it worth getting ‘Silence of the Lambs’ in Blu-Ray?

5 Stars A classic oscar winning thriller!!!!!!
I first seen this movie on Starz, and thought that this was a great movie. Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins gave great performances that were worth the oscars they won that year. It kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time, especially the part where Clarice is in the dark with Buffalo Bill behind her wearing a pair of night vision goggles. Anthony Hopkins’ performance as Hannibal Lecter was haunting, especially the part where he talks about eating the census taker’s liver. A very excellent thriller.
